A quick post with a little teaser of the new snow that hit the Sierra Nevada in the past week…

I was lucky enough to join Karhu rep Justin Singer and a group of California and Nevada Karhu retailers for a day of cat skiing with Pacific Crest Snowcats yesterday. After a week-long storm, the skis cleared up, and we enjoyed a full day of fresh turns on cold north-facing slopes. Glad I brought the Team 130s… it was deep! Here’s a quick tease, more video to come:

Learning Early

Great photo via email last week from Drew Hardesty of the Utah Avalanche Center, of his son Wyatt “laying the blue on thick.”

I have a lot of fond memories of doing the same on cold mornings out in my dad’s barn in Vermont. Looks like Wyatt knows what he’s doing!

New England Deep

Two photos for Monday stoke from WhereWillYouSki.com reader Peter Wadsworth…

The 2008 Christmas Eve melt-out is well forgotten now in New England. It’s been cold, brutally at times, and snowing for several weeks straight. As the creeks and stream beds have firmed up and the Mt Mansfield snow stake has crept up over 70” we’ve been trying to hit some of the backcountry lines that are only open for a short time every year. This particular day was an 8+ hour tour that yielded tons of steep and deep turns, finishing by headlamp well after dark.

Skiing With Friends

• admin

Posting a quick note from ski pioneer, longtime friend, and Karhu supporter Chip Chase of Whitegrass, WV:

“Faith is never lost when skiing with friends.”

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday and called for six more weeks of winter, which is a great thing for skiers in the Mid-Atlantic. The forecast for Whitegrass is calling for 4-8” of snow in the higher elevations on top of the current base there. Get out there and ski with Chipper!

Monday Stoke

• admin

Sorry for the radio silence, but after two weeks on the road in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas for the Outdoor Retailer and SIA tradeshows, we’re finally back in the office. There’s a huge backlog of emails, messages, blog entries, and skiing to be done, but here’s a little “good to be home” stoke.

We caught up with Karhu athlete JT Robinson at OR, freshly home in UT from a trip to Japan with Sweetgrass Productions. JT described some incredible powder during his trip, and Sweetgrass just released a little teaser from their January filming with a couple shots of JT in it. Without further ado, your Monday stoke:
